Summary

Lone Star Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 672 students in Fresno, California, and is part of the Sanger Unified School District, a district that ranks above average in the state.

Academically, Lone Star performs at or above state averages in English and Math, with particularly strong math scores that outpace many nearby schools, including several in the Fresno Unified district. The school has made excellent progress improving student attendance, which is now better than the state average and many local schools. It's important to note that while the school is effective for many student groups, there is a significant performance gap for its Asian students that the school needs to address, and science scores are an area for improvement.

Compared to other schools, Lone Star stands out for achieving these solid results while operating with a higher student-teacher ratio and at a moderate spending level per student. Schools like Aynesworth Elementary and David L. Greenberg Elementary in Fresno Unified, which serve similar student populations, have notably lower test scores. Within its own district, Lone Star performs similarly to John S. Wash Elementary but trails the higher-performing Sequoia Elementary.
